The Earth - Our home   Information on where to dispose of recyclable waste and current policy of major Irish companies and Government departments.

We believe it important that our environment is an issue under discussion. i.e. did you know that EPA
(Environmental Protection Agency) statistics suggest that 73% of dioxins released into the air in Ireland are produced by burning household rubbish in back-yard incinerators and open fires? (c2004)


This seems counter-intuitive, most of us believe that the major contributors of this particular pollution are industrial business concerns. However, if you imagine burning only 1 plastic 2ltr milk container yourself a year, then multiply that by 4 million (population of Ireland c2005) you can start to see the scale of the problem.

Part of the solution is to recycle, re-use and buy products with the least packaging. We don't seek to lecture you, but hopefully help you continue the progress we are all making towards a cleaner and safer Ireland.
